Chapter 738 - Want to Kill!

"Since this place collapsed when I fell, that means that this place is unstable. So even if this place is sealed with a powerful spell, it still won't be able to withstand the collapse of the Celestial Realm!" Wang Lin calculated that staying in this tunnel would get him out of here.

To be more exact, this location was the connecting point fo all the tunnels. Almost all of the branching paths were connected to this tunnel.

"Exits that appear at fixed times to lure me and make me increasingly irritated when I try to rush at them. This person sure is bored!" A hint of coldness flashed across Wang Lin's eyes.

How could he be willing to be fooled by another person like this? Right now he had to break through this scheme with his own strength!

Wang Lin raised his head and locked onto the dirt above him. He then slapped his bag of holding and the God Slaying War Chariot flew out, turning into the Thunder Beast. At the moment the Thunder Beast appeared, it let out a roar. It was connected to Wang Lin, so without waiting for Wang Lin's order, a large amount of thunder moved through its body and gathered at its silver horn.

At this moment, its silver horn gave off a bright light. As it roared, the beast charged up carrying the powerful light. It was like a sharp sword that charged toward the dirt above the tunnel.

A loud rumble echoed across the passages and a violent tremble suddenly appeared. Wang Linu could clearly feel the powerful tremble that spread across the tunnels and immediately affected all the other tunnels.

The Thunder Beast's body was knocked back. The powerful rebound force was something it almost couldn't bear. After retreating a few steps, its body trembled, but its eyes were filled with battle intent and an unyielding gaze.

Just at this moment, a shadow flickered behind Wang Lin and the celestial guard flew out. Its body was covered in a golden light and it threw a punch at the spot where the Thunder Beast's attack landed.

Boom! The earth-shattering explosion caused a violent tremble that spread across the area.

The celestial guard's body was sturdy, so it withdrew its fist and threw another punch, causing more trembling. The rebound force was intense, and after five punches, the celestial guard had to back up. The golden glow around the celestial guard dimmed and its aura became unstable.

Wang Lin's eyes were calm. The location he chose couldn't be wrong. At this moment, the celestial guard retreated and Wang Lin took out the celestial sword containing the awakened Xu Liguo. The celestial sword rushed forth along with Xu Liguo's cursing.

The Thunder Beast, celestial guard, and celestial sword's successive attacks caused the fragment to tremble violently, especially this tunnel. Because this tunnel was connected to all the other tunnels, all the other tunnels trembled violently as well.

Wang Lin let out a roar, then his hand formed a seal and the celestial spiritual energy in his body surged. His origin soul gave off thunder and thunder gathered in his hand. He threw the thunder, and the Thunder Beast also roared and charged out with the thunder.

The celestial guard followed closely after!

The entire fragment began to tremble violently. At this moment, the violent trembling caused the tunnel to collapse!

The collapse of one tunnel caused a chain reaction, so all the connecting tunnels instantly collapsed as well. The collapse spread and a large amount of dirt fell. However, a trace of origin energy appeared and surrounded the surrounding area.

The origin energy threads were very dense and rarely intersected. However, every time the lines intersected, a light door appeared.

Wang Lin's pupils shrank. He didn't think the spell would still exist after the collapse of the tunnels.

However, without the obstruction of the dirt, it was much easier for Wang Lin to leave through the exit that appeared every half an hour.

At the moment the next light door appeared, Wang Lin's body flickered and he charged out of the door at his fastest speed. The celestial guard and Thunder Beast followed closely after.

At the moment he came out, he didn't pause; he stepped into the void and let out a big breath.

"What is this person's purpose? If he wanted to kill me, it wouldn't have been hard with this spell. If he wanted to trap me, then simply make those doors disappear. However, this, why…" Wang Lin lowered his head and looked at the ground. The line forming the prison was still there.

After pondering a bit, Wang Lin put away the Thunder Beast and celestial guard. However, when he looked at the line of origin energy below him, he felt his scalp tingle.

He looked around as he pondered and muttered, "This place is the Thunder Celestial Realm…

"Celestial jades should be dispensable things for those cultivators that have stepped into the second step. After all, second step cultivators focus on origin energy!"

This question had been sitting at the bottom of his heart ever since he found out about origin energy. He wondered why so many second step cultivators were so eager to come to the Thunder Celestial Realm.

After meeting Shengong Hu, Wang Lin made some guesses and gradually understood something.

Aside from the celestial jades, there were celestial pills and treasures in the Thunder Celestial Realm. Although some were taken every time it opened, there would still be some remaining.

As for whether one could find any, it would depend on one's own fortune. There were even rumors about complete celestial spells. Although most of the celestial spells were incomplete, the cultivators of the Allheaven Star System was confident that there must be complete celestial spells here!

In addition to all of this, there was another key reason. So far, eight completely intact corpses of celestials had been found in the Thunder Celestial Realm.

If one could find the corpse of a celestial, even if it was only a clue, they could sell it to the Thunder Celestial Temple. If the clues were accurate, one would receive great benefits.

If one could obtain a corpse of a celestial by themselves and handed it to the Thunder Celestial Temple, then the individual gains would be unimaginable. Even the benefits one's family would receive would be a great harvest.

If the person who obtained the corpse of a celestial had enough talent, they may even be taken as a disciple of one of the ten great elders. From then on, they would be above others and their futures would be limitless!

Aside from all of this, what really attracted second step cultivators of the Allheaven Star System to this place were the origin energy pits!

More than 10,000 years ago, a cultivator found a semi-abandoned origin energy pit. That cultivator was only at the Ascendant stage, and after cultivating inside the origin energy pit, he miraculously broke through the first step and reached the second step!

For some reason, this news spread and caused every cultivator to go crazy over it.

As for how the origin energy pit formed, no one knew and no one had ever seen it the countless times the Thunder Celestial Realm had opened before. It was as if this origin energy pit had appeared out of nowhere.

There was a large amount of origin energy inside the origin energy pit. The origin energy there was extremely rich and didn't need any refining. Even if one wasn't at the second step, they only needed to cultivate to absorb it.

Various rumors spread by different people caused countless cultivators to gather at the Thunder Celestial Realm.

Aside from the origin energy pit, there was a tool called the "origin tool" by Allheaven cultivators. The energy contained inside the origin tool was different from the energy inside celestial jades. If a first step cultivator absorbed it, it would become celestial spiritual energy, but if a second step cultivator absorbed it, it would become origin energy!

All of these were the real reasons why Wang Lin was tempted to come. He was also suspicious about why he had never even heard of these things in the Rain Celestial Realm.

There was no answer, but he vaguely guessed that the Rain Celestial Realm was a little small compared to the Thunder Celestial Realm. This, of course, could be the fact that the collapse was more serious, so a lot of areas no longer existed. However, it was also possible that some areas were made inaccessible by others or weren't opened to the public at all!

"My cultivation still isn't enough!" Wang Lin let out a sigh, then his whole body turned into a ray of light and he was about to leave. At this moment, the lines of origin energy suddenly collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

Wang Lin stopped and stared at the scene.

At this moment, a faint fluctuation of celestial spiritual energy came from the collapsed ground. A greyish-white handle was half exposed inside the dirt.

The celestial spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from this object.

On a fragment somewhere in the Thunder Celestial Realm, the old man had his hands behind his back and was staring a towering mountain ahead of him. He licked his lips and was about to walk forward, but he suddenly stopped as if he had detected something and laughed. "That little guy took the shortcut, or else it would've been impossible for him to leave within seven days. However, there is no harm in taking a shortcut. Since you want to become a fated person with this old man that badly, then this old man will reluctantly agree!

"However, there are still more important matters at hand. This old man has prepared materials for tens of thousands of years for this matter to finally succeed! After I retrieve this mountain soul and place the Great Allheaven Formation, I'll come and find you!"

The old man's eyes revealed a hint of excitement. With his experience, there was hardly anything that could make him excited. If there was anything that brought any excitement to his life, then it would be this terrifying plan that he had been wroking on for tens of thousands of years!

The old man chuckled as he stepped forward toward the towering mountain.

"This old man will become the number one person in the Allheaven Star System! Once this plan is complete, I can sweep across the Alliance Star System and make that damn Master Zhong Xuan die without a grave!"

As for Wang Lin, he slowly landed, reached out, and pulled out the thing from the ground. This thing was incomplete, as if it was part of a water vase.

His eyes shined and looked at the ground. He could vaguely feel that there were several more fluctuations underground.

"Why didn't I noticed this before… I only detected it after this place collapsed…" Wang Lin looked at it and pondered.

Just at this moment, a ray of light of light broke through horizon. This ray of light was black and seemed to carry a dense devilish energy. The ray of black light seemed to notice something and then it charged directly toward Wang Lin.

The devilish energy contained undisguised killing intent and arrogance.

"Junior up ahead, leave behind the thing in your hand and scram out of here! If you disobey, die!"

Chapter 739 - Dong Lin's Xu family

What followed the voice was a devilish flame that covered the entire sky. The black flame emitted a heat that could burn one's origin soul, and it instantly covered the sky.

It was as if the thin layer of clouds in the sky was eroded by the devilish flame and was filled with devilish energy. It was as if they only needed to gather the water within for an intense rain storm to began.

Carrying a trace of rain, the flame moved with the wind and rushed toward the ground. The devilish energy around the ground became monstrous in an instant. If someone were watching from far away, they would see that the devilish energy had formed a huge phantom with a single horn.

A purple-robed young man appeared on the head of the phantom. His eyes were giving off a bloodthirsty light and his black hair was floating behind him. He stepped on the phantom and then it rushed toward the ground.

Wang Lin stood on the ground as he calmly looked up at the sky. He waved his right hand and put the broken handle into his bag.

When the devilish phantom closed in, the young man on top looked down at Wang Lin and coldly said, "You're courting death!" He didn't move, but the rain near him quickly condensed and rushed out. Th rain formed arrows that penetrated through the air. They flew toward Wang Lin while creating a strange, whistling sound.

The youth was at the Illusory Yin stage, and it was obvious that he wasn't new to this cultivation. Although he wasn't at the peak, he was still at the mid stage.

His cultivation could match the Thunder Daoist, and his devilish spells made him even more fierce. Even the Thunder Daoist wouldn't necessarily have the upper hand against him.

The arrows formed by the rain contained a fierce killing intent. Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he retreated several steps. His hand reached out and bursts of thunder exploded forth. At the same time, balls of thunder appeared, and they were each connected by lightning.

With a point of his finger, these balls of thunder charged toward the arrows. The moment the balls of thunder closed in on the arrows, they immediately exploded. The violent explosion caused the arrows to immediately disintegrate. The countless rain arrows all dissipated 100 feet before Wang Lin.

The youth above the devilish phantom calmly and slowly said, "A little interesting…"

However, before he finished speaking, not only did Wang Lin not retreat, he stepped forward. He was already angry from being trapped inside the tunnel, and now he had met this youth that attacked with killing intent right away. It was as if he was so weak in everyone's eyes that they could attack him as they wished.

"It seems I have been too low key in the Allheaven Star System." If the youth was at the Corporeal Yang stage, Wang Lin might have hesitated and chosen to retreat. However, he had killed Illusory Yin cultivators before, and he stepped directly toward the phantom.

"Using devilish spells before me! I have even battled a scattered devil!" With one step, Wang Lin stepped into the air. He then raised his right hand and his origin soul became active. A large amount of thunder came from his body and quickly gathered in his right hand.

A blue ball of thunder suddenly appeared, and it simply contained too much thunder. The moment it appeared, it caused the surroundings to change.

 ご自宅にいながら,簡単にリフォーム相談できるTOTO DAIKEN YKK AP

This place was the Thunder Celestial Realm, so it was not lacking in thunder. The moment Wang Lin's ball of thunder appeared, strands of thunder appeared on the ground and even the sky seemed to be affected. Countless strands of thunder were attracted to the ball of thunder.

Holding the ball of thunder, Wang Lin jumped forward and pushed the ball.

The ball of thunder rushed directly toward the youth on the devilish phantom.

The youth's expression changed slightly changed. Not only did the killing intent in his eyes not lessen, it became even stronger. His hand rapidly formed seals, and at the moment the ball of thunder closed in, he shouted, "Devil, devour!"

Two bloodthirsty devilish lights suddenly appeared on the originally blurry-looking devilish phantom. Then a crack appeared and became bigger and bigger before it devoured the ball of thunder.

"Such weak thunder isn't even qualified for me to use my devilish flame!" The youth raised his right hand and all the rain gathered. The rain moved around inside his hand.

In an instant, a long spear formed. It was formed by rain, but it seemed to be made of ink. The spear was black and seemed to be flowing. Then the youth waved his hand and a water curtain charged toward Wang Lin with dense devilish energy.

Wang Lin was calm as he slapped his bag of holding and something appeared in his hand. It was the celestial mountain. The moment it appeared in his hand, it immediately increased in size until it was as big as a mountain.

At the moment the water curtain arrived, Wang Lin pressed his right hand on the mountain with a mysterious light in his eyes. When he raised his hand, strands of the mountain's soul were pulled out as if they were drawing each other out.

When Wang Lin's right hand completely lifted, the mountain's soul had turned into a ball of mist in his hand and was giving off an ancient aura.

Wang Lin's body was like lighting. He was so fast that at the moment he moved, he caused a thunderous roar. Holding the mist in his hand, Wang Lin rushed out right when the water curtain was closing in. The water pierced into his body and immediately turned into countless drops of cold, devilish, water droplets that instantly surrounded Wang Lin.

However, as soon as it surrounded Wang Lin, the mist in his hand gave off a rich celestial spiritual energy fluctuation that allowed Wang Lin to charge through the water curtain. Without pausing at all, he charged forward and pressed the mist toward the youth on the devilish phantom.

The youth's expression sank the moment the mist appeared. He immediately threw the spear and it charged out like a dragon. The spear rushed through the air and penetrated the ball of mist!

After Wang Lin threw the ball of mist, he didn't stop but rushed forward and shouted, "Scatter!"

The ball of mist suddenly spread out and swelled several times, becoming a dense mist that covered the entire spear. The youth's expression changed and was about to use a spell.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he shouted, "Thunder, explode!"

The ball of thunder devoured by the devilish phantom hadn't disintegrated, it was hiding. At the moment Wang Lin shouted, the powerful thunder exploded within the phantom's body!

A blue light immediately appeared within the phantom. The light became bright and brighter before instantly reaching its limit. Finally, in a series of thunderous rumbles, countless bolts of thunder burst from the phantom's body. Its large, illusory body completely collapsed!

The drastic change caused the youth's expression to become even more gloomy. At the breath before the phantom collapsed, the youth had already left the phantom's body. However, Wang Lin had already closed in. Wang Lin's shadow flashed and the celestial guard quickly stepped out.

In the youth's eyes, it was as if Wang Lin had split into two. The celestial guard's entire body gave off a golden glow that flowed like water toward its right hand. At this moment, it seemed as if the celestial guard was holding the sun.

One punch was thrown!

Because Wang Lin's cultivation had reached the peak of the late stage of Ascendant, it wasn't as easy as before to see that the celestial guard was hiding in his shadow.

All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. It happened so fast that the youth didn't even have time to think. He didn't expect a mere peak late stage Ascendant cultivator to be able to create a ball of thunder this powerful and draw out the mountain's soul. What shocked him the most was the punch from the puppet!

The storm formed by this punch was too powerful. Not only was the golden light blinding, even his origin soul felt pain when the light shined on him.

This punch was the peak of the celestial guard's power; it was a punch that could shatter the world. It was incredibly fast and landed directly before the youth.

The consecutive changes caught him completely unprepared. From the slow attack at he start to the sudden change that came after, the youth felt a life and death crisis he hadn't felt in a very long time. He didn't hesitate to quickly retreat, as this punch made his scalp tingle.

He had a feeling that if he didn't retreat and was hit by this punch, even with his Illusory Yin cultivation, he would undoubtedly die!

As the youth retreated, the celestial guard's punch exploded. The youth bit the tip of his tongue without hesitation and spat out essence blood that contained origin energy.

His expression became fierce and he shouted, "Screen of Dong Lin!"

The essence blood exploded like water falling in hot oil. The blood mist gathered before the youth to block the puppet's punch.

When the punch landed on the blood mist, a sound that shocked the entire fragment suddenly echoed across the fragment. This sound was beyond loud and the impact rapidly spread. It was as if the entire earth had 10 feet of it scrapped off by the shockwave.

Large amounts of dirt flew up into the air and debris that gave off celestial spiritual energy fluctuation appeared.

The blood mist dissipated and the puppet fell to the ground before retreating several more steps to steady itself. However, the golden light was completely gone and it seemed to have used all its energy.

It was clear to anyone that the celestial guard's body was trembling lightly.

The youth that came with murderous intent flew toward the ground like a meteor and smashed into the ground with a bang. An illusory black lotus emitting a powerful, black devilish flame appeared above him.

"In 5,000 years, you're the first person to make me, Xu Fenghan…"

However, before he could finished speaking, there was a loud, muffled explosion from inside the mist formed by the mountain soul. There was a loud echo as the mist dissipated and the thread returned to the celestial mountain. The spear inside had lost its power and had dissipated, and the rain fell to the earth.

Chapter 740 - Peerless, Battle of Dao

Xu Fenghan's words were interrupted by the disappearance of the spear.

As his slender figure walked out from the dust, his face was pale and was in a somewhat sorry state. His eyes were cold and were carrying a crazy amount of killing intent.

"You're very good, very good!" A cold voice came from his mouth and was also gnashing through his teeth. To be pushed this far by a first step cultivator was a disgrace! He had forgotten that he came here for the pieces of treasure fragments underground. The only thing in his mind was killing Wang Lin!

Wang Lin secretly sighed. It was very difficult to kill a second step cultivator. All of the calculations and attacks were done to give the celestial guard a chance for that punch. If it was any first step cultivator, they wouldn't have been able to block that attack.

However, he could only injure but not kill an Illusory Yin cultivator who couldn't even be considered to have truly reached the second step.

"This person is much more powerful than the Thunder Daoist from back then." Wang Lin waved his hand and all the fragments exposed on the surface were gathered by him.

Wang Lin was staring at the devilish lotus flame above Xu Fenghan's head.

Xu Fenghan took a deep breath, then he pointed at the sky with this right hand and grimly said, "Even if you have that puppet, thanks to the dao of my devil lotus that formed when I reached the Illusory Yin stage, you will still be reduced to ashes!"

"Devil Lotus Dao, first rotation!"

When Xu Fenghan finished speaking, his devil lotus began to slowly rotate. The rotation caused the devil flame to immediately become more intense and cover half the sky.

Wang Lin's expression was very serious. This was a rare chance to see a cultivator with their own dao. The rotation of the devil lotus seemed to have replaced the world itself; it was as if the world was turning.

This feeling was very unreal but also extremely real. It was as if he had become a grain of sand in the world and was being mercilessly erased by the rotation of the world.

"I can't let it keep rotating!" Wang Lin's expression suddenly turned pale. Thunder suddenly echoed across the sky that was half-covered by the black flame from the devil lotus.

In an instant, an underworld river appeared in the sky. This underworld river was extremely long, as if a great river had suddenly appeared in the sky. Bursts of mournful cries came from within, making it seem as if the entire world was filled with endless resentment.

The underworld river squeezed into black flame's territory, creating an opposing force. At this moment, the rotation of the world gradually stopped and Wang Lin revealed a serious expression.

Cultivators that had their own dao and could materialize it were terrifying! Wang Lin was very clear on this point.

Xu Fenghan's eyes narrowed as he stared the underworld river and slowly said, "So you can materialize your own dao too. You can also draw the soul from the mountain and have so many magical treasures. If my guess is correct, you are a second step cultivator as well, but due to certain circumstances, your cultivation fell to the peak of the late stage of Ascendant!"

Only this explanation could prevent Xu Fenghan from feeling bad. Otherwise, he really couldn't face the fact that an Ascendant cultivator could be this strong.

"I believe that that puppet is your original body and this body is your clone. You must be too injured for your origin soul to return to your original body!" The more Xu Fenghan spoke, the more clear his mind became and the more he was sure of his speculation.

"Let us see which of our daos is stronger!" Xu Fenghan's eyes became cold and were filled with killing intent. The lotus above his head immediately began to rotate even faster. The black flame became even more monstrous to the point that it formed a wall of black flame that would make anyone's throat feel dry the moment they saw it.

Xu Fenghan shouted, "Devilish flame, burn!" The flame vortex separated from the lotus and charged toward Wang Lin.

The vortex rotated rapidly, creating a powerful wind that carried intense heat. This wind created a storm that closed rapidly on Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's eyes released a golden glow. This battle was his first life and death battle since reaching the peak of the late stage of Ascendant. As the devilish flamed closed in, Wang Lin raised his hand and shouted, "Second ability, Condense River Soul!"

The underworld river immediately trembled and all the resentment inside condensed. This resentment was too powerful; it was all the resentment Wang Lin had gathered from all the mortals on planet Qing Lin. All of the resentment combined to form a monstrous amount of grievance.

The monstrous resentment turned solid and charged out as shadows. Each shadow had the figure of a mortal.

In an instant, countless shadows of mortals appeared in the world. At this moment, the world seemed narrow and crowded.

However, the mortals formed by the resentment all fused in the blink of an eye. The result was a human-shaped resentful spirit that had no specific appearance!

The resentful spirit was born from the underworld river. Just as it appeared, the underworld river wrapped around the spirit and charged at the devilish flame vortex.

The resentful spirit and devilish flame vortex collided, creating an unimaginable power. At this instant, an extremely harsh sound came from the sky!

The entire sky seemed to be torn by this power!

The earth shook violently under the impact of the force. A crack appeared before Wang Lin and Xu Fenghan and quickly spread. It was as if the entire continent was being split in half!

The resentful spirit shattered into countless strands of resentment and returned to the underworld river. The underworld river collapsed!

The underworld river was his dao, and its collapse meant the collapse of his dao. When Wang Lin felt the effect of the collapse, his expression immediately turned pale and he staggered a few steps backwards. The devilish flame's power was transmitted into the underworld river, and when the underworld river collapsed, it was transmitted into Wang Lin's origin soul.

This devilish flame burned as if was going to burn the entire world. Wang Lin's face turned red, then he coughed out a large mouthful of blood and was immediately filled with killing intent!

"Third ability, Power of the Underworld River!" Wang Lin's head jerked upward and he stared at the crumbling underworld river. His unyielding nature was revealed through his gaze.

He would never yield. If his dao collapsed, then he would reform it once more! If the underworld river collapsed, then he would reform it once more! The devilish flame was forced out through the pores in his body. The devilish flame was invisible, but then black gas rose into the air.

Xu Fenghan's expression was also pale and he also took several step backward. Although the devilish flame formed by his dao didn't collapse, it was as if rain had fallen on it, and more than half of the flames had extinguished.

Even his body was eroded by the resentful spirit from the underworld river. Luckily, his cultivation was powerful enough that he could suppress it after many attempts. If he hadn't suppressed it, it would've invaded his mind and he would have gone crazy before Wang Lin even had a chance to attack.

"Battles of dao are the most dangerous; those words are not false!" For the first time, Xu Fenghan put Wang Lin on the same level as himself.

Battles of dao often shake the roots of cultivators. This was not their origin soul or their flesh but their dao heart. The consequences of a damaged dao heart were extremely terrifying as it was extremely difficult to recover!

Xu Fenghan saw that Wang Lin's underworld river had collapse, but at this moment, a powerful, unyielding will actually caused the collapsing underworld river to reform!

This scene shocked him greatly and his eyes revealed a mysterious light. This was the first time he had seen a dao spell like this. His eyes lit up and knew he couldn't retreat right now. This was a battle of dao, and if he retreated, the consequences would be very serious. His right hand formed a seal and he shouted, "Devil lotus, 100 rotations!"

The lotus trembled and rapidly rotated. At this moment, the feeling that the world was rotating appeared once more.

This feeling was so terrifying that Wang Lin's body retreated subconsciously. He didn't want to retreat, but he had no choice. It felt like he would be obliterated by the rotating world if he didn't retreat.

"I have killed Illusory Yin cultivators before, so it's not impossible to kill another!" Wang Lin's right foot stomped on the ground and his body stopped. His unyielding gaze fell directly on the underworld river.

This will also contained Wang Lin's confidence. This combination of unyielding will and faith caused the underworld river to stop collapsing. A powerful suction from came from within the underworld river!

This suction was extremely powerful; it was as if it wanted to suck everything into the underworld river. No matter how one rotated one, couldn't escape from the suction comprehended from the intersection of two star systems!

This suction was so powerful that it even caused the lotus to slow down. It was as if it was inside water, as its rotation was obstructed and slowed down.

This change caused Xu Fenghan's expression to change greatly. Without hesitation, he jumped up. He was about to sit down on the lotus and use his own power to make the lotus rotate.

How could Wang Lin give him that chance? Wang Lin immediately shot out. Under the suction of the underworld river, his right hand pointed into the air. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he shouted, "Karma Whip!"

A curved line suddenly appeared between Wang Lin's eyebrows. This thin line slowly extended until it became a long whip!

The moment the whip appeared, it immediately shook and gave off snapping sounds. It caused countless ripples to appear, and it was like an intangible object. It mercilessly whipped at Xu Fenghan, who was charging toward the lotus!

The whip was only lashing at the air, but it mysteriously affected Xu Fenghan. His body trembled, his face turned pale, and his body paused.

The Karma Whip attacks karma!

"This person's dao heart has a flaw!" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed and he rush out without hesitation.

Chapter 741 - Stealing One's Spot

Xu Fenghan's body felt cold the moment the whip hit his body. All of the chaotic thoughts in his mind surged forth like a flood. They became an extremely chaotic existence inside his body and made him feel like he was being torn apart.

His steps involuntarily slowed and even his dao became unstable.

He couldn't imagine what kind of whip this was to have such a terrifying power. At this moment, Wang Lin charged out. He didn't charge toward Xu Fenghan but toward Xu Fenghan's lotus.

Stealing one's spot!

At this moment, Wang Lin's hair moved without any wind and his cloth flapped in the wind. His eyes were shining like lightning, and although his face was pale, he gave off an extraordinary aura.

Standing on top of Xu Fenghan's dao lotus, Wang Lin turned around. His eyes were bright as a torch as he looked at Xu Fenghan.

He stood on the lotus, which was the same as standing on Xu Fenghan's dao. Although in reality this had no effect, symbolically, it was was amazing attack on one's mind!

Xu Fenghan finally suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind. His dao heart had already weakened, and when he saw Wang Lin standing on his lotus, his expression immediately paled.

Wang Lin didn't say a word as he coldly stared at Xu Fenghan. He waved his sleeves and actually sat down on the lotus. At this moment, the power of the underworld river became even more intense, and it instantly surrounded the lotus.

Xu Fenghan had lost the battle of dao… His expression turned pale and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. He then immediately retreated with a self deprecating smile and at the same time his hand formed a seal. The origin energy inside his body instantly gathered at his hands.

"I still have an origin spell! Origin-Formed Devil God!" Xu Fenghan's face became ferocious. He already hated this enemy, whose name he didn't even know, to the bones!

Origin energy gathered in his hands and then a black devilish flame suddenly formed between his hands. This devilish flame was like a flickering candle flame. It was as if there was a heart-devouring devil struggling inside the flame.

In the blink of an eye, the devilish flame absorbed a large amount of origin energy, causing it to flash brightly and, expand greatly. It gave off thick, black smoke that turned into the shape of a single-horned devil. Its appearance was similar to the scattered devil, but it was not as strong.

A powerful sense of crisis appeared inside Wang Lin's heart. His right hand hit the lotus and then he jumped off it. Then his right hand pressed between his eyebrows and he charged directly toward the devil.

His speed was extremely fast, and when he closed in, the third eye between his eyebrows released a powerful, red light. The red light didn't spread out but gathered. Right now he looked extremely demonic.

The moment the devil it appeared, it let out a roar and bit Xu Fenghan's shoulder. It then dragged him into the air and swallowed him.

After it finished devouring him, it turned its head and stared at Wang Lin. It then charged out while letting out a roar and swung its claws. The claws seemed to be tearing the heavens and earth, releasing a harsh shrill.

At this moment, the veins on Wang Lin's face bulged. The third eye between his eyebrows instantly opened and released a ray of light in the shape of a fan.

That devil's body was immediately exposed to the fan-shaped red light and looked as if it was becoming transparent. Even Xu Fenghan, who was like a fetus inside the devil, became visible!

The moment the devilish claws closed in, Wang Lin's right hand pointed at it and he shouted, "Stop!"

The Stop spell descended like a great force; it was as if the entire world had stopped at this moment. Although the devil recovered almost immediately, that pause gave Wang Lin an excellent opportunity!

Right now the devil was completely surrounded by the red light and its body was giving off a large amount of black smoke. It let out bursts of miserable groans and its screams were extremely violent. Even Xu Fenghan, who was in an dormant state inside the devil's body, opened his eyes.

Wang Lin's expression was pale. He couldn't maintain the red light from the third light for too long, because this spell used up too much origin energy. Wang Lin only kept the third eye open for two breaths of time before the red light disappeared.

However, at this moment, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and the celestial sword appeared in his hand. He raised the sword and it quickly fell!

Heavenly Chop!

A thunderous roar echoed across the heavens and earth! What was chopped wasn't the flesh or power but the law of the world. At the moment the law was chopped, the spell would naturally collapse!

This chop also allowed Xu Liguo to play his part. Dense ancient sword intent immediately filled the world.

The celestial sword had fallen, but the devil wasn't injured at all and Xu Fenghan's eyes lit up inside the devil. However, at this moment, whether it was the devil or Xu Fenghan, neither of them moved an inch.

A moment later, cracks appeared on the devil and devilish energy escaped from the cracks. After all the devilish energy dissipated, Xu Fenghan was exposed.

Xu Fenghan was already dead!

A trace of blood came out from the corner of Wang Lin's mouth. Killing an Illusory Yin cultivator was really difficult. Wang Lin put away the celestial sword and reached out toward the ground. He collected all of the shattered fragments of the treasure and quickly left.

As for the devil lotus inside the underworld river, it didn't disappear for some reason. Instead, it was absorbed by the underworld river and was slowly being refined.

When he noticed this, Wang Lin revealed a thoughtful expression.

"I wonder if the physical manifestation of dao can be refined into a magical treasure…"

As he flew, Wang Lin's divine sense spread out. This battle would definitely attract some cultivators, so Wang Lin quickly flew away. Even after he was tens of thousands of kilometers away, he still didn't stop.

This fragment was extremely vast, and it was far more stable than the Rain Celestial Realm. If this was the Rain Celestial Realm, this battle would have definitely caused the fragment to collapse.

Wang Lin flew for three days before he finally saw the edge before him. At this point, he stopped and looked around. Not far away, there was a mountain filled with thunder.

Wang Lin charged directly toward the mountain. He used the celestial sword to make a cave before sitting down and cultivating.

During the battle with Xu Fenghan, Wang Lin used the Heavenly Chop and Third Eye, so the origin energy inside his body was consumed. However, he had devoured two and a half bolts of celestial thunder that he had not refined but kept inside his body. He quickly refined them and recovered the origin energy he had used in the battle.

In addition, this place was the Thunder Celestial Realm, so everything here, including the plants and mountains, contained thunder. This was like a holy land for Wang Lin, and cultivating here would be much faster than outside.

He was like a fish in water.

While cultivating, Wang Lin took out the lotus from the underworld river. The lotus was bleak, and at the moment it left the underworld river, it showed signs of dissipating.

Wang Lin observed it for a moment before putting it back into the underworld river.

Then he took out all the fragments he had gathered. From the fragments, he could tell that this was a vase-shaped treasure.

The celestial fluctuations coming them were extremely strange. It looked like celestial spiritual energy but also not.

While looking at the fragments, Wang Lin began to think. Then his eyes suddenly narrowed and he muttered to himself, "Could this be a shattered origin tool?"

At this moment, a blood-red light quickly flew through the Allheaven Star System. At the end of this red light was a dark red planet.

This planet was very large and gave off a very strange aura. It was impossible to determine if this aura was celestial spiritual energy, devilish energy, or demonic energy. In the end, it was extremely strange.

This planet wasn't stationary but slowly moving.

The red light stopped before the planet and then disappeared, exposing a person. This person had red hair, red eyebrows, and was wearing a red robe. He looked very handsome and was in his 40s.

As he looked at the surrounding space and the dark red planet, a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes. He clasped his hands and respectfully said, "Yao Luodong's son, Yao Kong, returns to the family!"

The surroundings were completely silent. After a long time, the dark red planet suddenly stopped and a hoarse voice came from within.

"When your father left the family, didn't he say that no matter how many generations passed, you all would never return…"

Yao Kong let out a sigh. He really didn't want to come back to the Allheaven Star System and use the Allheaven stone his father left him.

However, if he didn't return to the Allheaven Star System, he couldn't be at peace. All of this was for his daughter, Yao Xixue!

This person was the Blood Ancestor!

"I…" Just as he spoke, he was interrupted by the hoarse voice.

"Leave this place and go back to the Alliance Star System your father chose. My Yao family's temple doesn't have the name Yao Luodong!"

This voice was filled with determination and resolve, and it didn't allow any to doubt or question it.

The Blood Ancestor clenched his fist and said, "Grandfather!! My only daughter, Yao Xixue, was kidnapped from the Alliance Star System and was brought here. Whether she is alive or dead is unknown! She has the blood of the Yao family!"

That hoarse voice became silent. After a long time, an ancient sigh came from it.

"Yao Xixue…" The voice was very soft. After a while, it slowly said, "I have calculated that she is inside the Thunder Celestial Realm. You go and bring my great granddaughter back. Go to the Thunder Celestial Temple with my token and they will send you in. If you are late, then even they won't be able to send you into the Celestial Realm."

Chapter 742 - Devil Lotus

The Thunder Celestial Realm was far larger than the Alliance Star System's Rain Celestial Realm. To be more accurate, the Thunder Celestial Realm was better preserved than the Rain Celestial Realm. At the edge of one of the fragments there was a mountain that constantly gave off thunder.

Bursts of thunder the looked like silver snakes constantly moved through the mountain. Anyone who saw this would feel shocked.

The sky was dark and thunder would occasionally fall down on the mountain. It was as if the sky and mountain were linked. Thunderous rumbles would continuously echo and wouldn't dissipate for a long time.

There was a cave in the middle of the mountain. Wang Lin was sitting in the lotus position in this cave, healing his injuries.

The celestial guard was also cultivating at the entrance recovering itself.

On this day, Wang Lin opened his eyes and released a golden flash. Before him were 10 pieces of differently shaped fragments that slowly floated into the air as if a giant hand was holding them.

Wang Lin began to ponder. He had not seen what the origin tool from the Thunder Celestial Realm looked like. However, he guessed that there was a 70% chance that these fragments belonged to an origin tool.

Wang Lin raised his hand and took one of the fragments. After carefully looking at it, he put it down before picking up another piece. Just like this, he engraved every piece in his heart and then closed his eyes.

Just like how he deduced restrictions, he began deducing the most accurate combination inside his mind.

Time slowly passed. One hour later, Wang Lin opened his eyes. He frowned as he looked at the fragments before him.

"It is impossible for these fragments to form a complete magical treasure, as there are pieces missing." After silently pondering for a moment, Wang Lin waved his hand. The fragments were surrounded by celestial spiritual energy and began to move. The pieces connected together for form a vase.

There were scar-like cracks between each fragment, making it give off a sense of incomplete beauty. In addition, on one side of the vase there were several pieces missing that prevented it from being complete.

After looking for a while, Wang Lin waved his hand and the fragments fell apart once more. He then put them back into his bag of holding.

"That Xu Fenghan was an Illusory Yin cultivator, so why didn't he have a bag of holding…" Wang Lin was puzzled by this after he killed Xu Fenghan.

After Xu Fenghan died, his body dissipated. Wang Lin's divine sense spread out and he found out that he didn't leave behind a bag of holding.

This was a very odd phenomenon.

"That person's cultivation level was very high. Even if he didn't prepare any magical treasures for this trip to the Thunder Celestial Realm, he still should have prepared some pills. Moreover, if he had any gains, he couldn't just be holding them in his hand…" Wang Lin frowned and was completely baffled.

"There must be some reason I don't know of, or there is a method of storage not known to outsiders!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he thought about the devil lotus inside the underworld river!

"Could it be…" Wang Lin's eyes shined and with a thought the underworld river appeared around him. The underworld river was formed by his dao, so its size could change. Wang Lin's right hand hit the underworld river, causing the large amount of resentful spirits inside to pull out Xu Fenghan's devil lotus.

His eyes shined as he stared at the devil lotus. This thing couldn't leave the underworld river for too long, or it would disappear. Only by being inside the underworld river could the dissipation be slowed.

At this moment, the devilish flame had already extinguished, leaving behind the bleak lotus. Wang Lin's hand formed a seal and celestial spiritual energy gathered in his eyes.

He looked at the lotus!

There seemed to be a cloudy aura inside the lotus, but this aura was not dead, and it was slowly rotating. When Wang Lin looked at it, the rotation immediately sped up and he could vaguely hear a roar coming from inside. It seemed like it was using some mysterious method to come out through Wang Lin's gaze.

Wang Lin's eyes became cold and he let out a cold snort. Not only did he not withdraw his gaze, he even gave the strange aura an opportunity to come out. The black gas came out and immediately turned into a devil that tried to devour Wang Lin.

The moment that devil tried to devour Wang Lin, its body immediately shivered as if it had discovered something unbelievable. It let out a scream and immediately turned around to return back into the devil lotus.

However, it was too late!

Wang Lin's origin soul charged out and chased after it while giving out bursts of thunder. He directly grabbed the devil. As the devil gave off bursts of anxious screams, it was dragged back into Wang Lin's body.

"I can't refine a scattered devil, but such a small devil doesn't stand a chance!" Wang Lin's eyes were calm as the scream of the devil was drowned out by thunder. The scream became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared and the devil was devoured by his origin soul.

Ordinary cultivators didn't possess devouring abilities like this. Normally, this came from some demonic cultivation methods. As for Wang Lin, this was because he was a soul devourer.

After devouring the devil, Wang Lin's eyes gave off a dark glow as if it contained a trace of devilish energy. However, thunder soon flash through his eyes, dispelling all of the devilish energy, and Wang Lin returned to normal.

He licked his lips. At this moment, he could clearly feel that not only had all his origin energy been recovered, but it had also increased a bit. It was as if all the origin energy had been compressed.

After the black gas disappeared, the inside of the lotus was no longer cloudy and Wang Lin could see another space inside the lotus. There were four crystal clear beads emitting bright light floating inside. However, they looked unstable, like they could break down at any moment.

Just at this moment, Wang Lin looked over and one crystal bead collapsed and dissipated.

Seeing that the other crystal beads were about to collapse, Wang Lin's right hand immediately reached in and grabbed two beads. Just as he was about to grab the third, that bead collapsed.

Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he withdrew his right hand with two beads inside. After taking them out, the beads stopped collapsing. Wang Lin's divine sense entered the beads and he was immediately shocked.

"What an interesting spell, using something formed by dao as a bag of holding." Wang Lin took a deep breath and understood why Xu Fenghan didn't have a bag of holding.

"Using one's dao to form its own space and store precious things inside for maximum protection. This spell is very practical."

At this moment, after the lotus lost the crystal beads and the black gas, it withered rapidly. It was as if thousands of years had passed; it completely withered and eventually disappeared.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and crushed one of the crystal beads, causing a pill bottle to appear. The bottle was still sealed by wax, which meant that it had never been opened before. A very delicate "Xu" was engraved on the bottle.

After breaking the wax, the smell of celestial spiritual energy came out, making one feel extremely comfortable both physically and mentally. There was only one pill inside the bottle, and although Wang Lin didn't know the effect of the pill, it was absolutely not normal.

After looking at it for a long time, Wang Lin put away the pill and broke the other bead. There was a flash of light and a talisman appeared. This talisman looked extremely ordinary with nothing unusual about it.

There was a simple rune drawn on it using cinnabar.

"What is this…" Wang Lin was startled, and he picked up the talisman to take a closer look. This looked liked the talismans he had seen in his early days of cultivation that were used by low level cultivators.

"If Xu Fenghan stored it inside his dao, it can't be normal!" Wang Lin's eyes narrowed, and after looking at if for a long time, he still couldn't find any clues.

After pondering for a while, he put away the talisman and no longer thought about it. Then his body flickered and he moved directly out of the cave. The celestial guard followed and merged with his shadow.

Right before the mountain of thunder was the edge of the fragment. There was a field of thunder at the edge of the fragment. The thunderbolts were like rusty chains that extended into the darkness.

"In the Rain Celestial Realm, there were transfer arrays. However, the thunder in the Thunder Celestial Realm is too powerful to place transfer arrays, so traveling depends on the power of one's feet." Wang Lin pondered, he didn't rush to leave this fragment but carefully searched the area for any location with celestial spiritual energy fluctuations.

As he flew, Wang Lin's expression suddenly changed. Two rays of sword energy flew toward him from the front. There was a man and woman on those two rays of sword energy.

The man was wearing dark blue robes with his long hair bundled up in a blue ribbon. He looked around 30 years old and had an extraordinary appearance. The woman looked to be around 28 years old, and although her appearance was also beautiful, her phoenix eyes looked evil and made it look like she had some strange temper.

While the two of them were flying, they caught a glimpse of Wang Lin, and the two couldn't help but stop. They carefully spread out their divine senses and were slightly relieved to find that Wang Lin was only at the peak of the late stage of Ascendant. The two looked at each other and without a word flew far away.

While the two were probing Wang Lin's cultivation, Wang Lin also saw through theirs. Both of them were at the peak of the late stage of Ascendant and hadn't broken through yet.

They didn't have much origin energy inside their origin souls, unlike him, who had already reached a point of saturation.

The two of them didn't want any trouble and quickly left. Wang Lin only took one look before withdrawing his gaze and continuing to look at the ground.

The Thunder Celestial Realm had opened many times, so the harvest each time would be less. However, once there was a harvest, there was a high chance for it to be some top quality treasure.

Wang Lin had experience from the Rain Celestial Realm, so it was much easier. In a flash, the remainder of the month passed by. Wang Lin didn't meet many cultivators, only three to five people.

Among them, he hadn't seen any Illusory Yin cultivators. Most of them were Ascendant, and there was even one Soul Transformation.

Wang Lin searched the entire fragment once in one month of time and found nothing. After pondering a bit, he stopped searching and moved at full speed back to where he started.

On this day, while Wang Lin was flying, his eyes suddenly narrowed. On the ground in the distance, a restriction formation had suddenly appeared.

Although this restriction was hidden, it was clear as day to a restriction master like Wang Lin. He clearly remembered that he hadn't seen this restriction when he passed by here before.

Chapter 743 - Li Yuan

After taking a few looks, Wang Lin landed. This restriction wasn't very large, only about several thousand feet wide. What was wonderful about this restriction was that it was intertwined with the mountain nearby, so it was extremely well hidden.

If Wang Lin wasn't confident that there were no restrictions here before, then he could have easily missed this. What was more important though was the celestial spiritual energy this restriction gave off.

"This restriction contains celestial spiritual energy which merged with the surroundings. This is quite amazing! However, it is precisely this celestial spiritual energy that is the flaw. After all, these are two types of celestial spiritual energy, and they wouldn't completely merge in a short period of time." Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and deduced the restriction in his mind. Just as he was about to step forth, he thought of something.

"Wait, with how ingenious this restriction is, such a loophole shouldn't exist! The celestial spiritual energy could have been removed, making the restriction even more hidden. With how skilled the person who set up the restriction is, that person shouldn't have made this kind of mistake…"

Wang Lin slightly frowned before spreading out his divine sense and finding no clues for kilometers. He pondered for a while and muttered, "Strange, there is clearly an aura of a restriction, but I see no restriction. Could I be seeing things…" His eyes lit up before disappearing over the horizon. He flew toward the edge of the fragment and completely disappeared.

Time slowly passed. One hour later, on the restriction 100 feet to the side of the mountain, a ripple appeared and two people walked out.

These two were the man and woman Wang Lin met one month ago.

The woman stared with hatred at where Wang Lin disappeared and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say that your restriction can merge fake with reality and attract all cultivators on this fragment? Why wasn't that person fooled just now?!"

The man beside her frowned slightly and said, "Maybe that person hasn't truly left. We shouldn't have appeared so hastily."

The woman coldly said, "Don't try to dodge the subject, I'm asking you a question!"

The man sighed and whispered, "Maybe he saw through it…"

"Don't think too highly of others. Didn't you hear that person mutter to himself that he couldn't even see that there was a restriction!? Before, I told you to leave more flaws, but you were too self-righteous!" The woman was rather dissatisfied and her tone became worse.

The man revealed a hint of contempt in his eyes, but it was very well hidden. He plainly said, "Cultivators that come to the Thunder Celestial Realm are people who have cultivated for a long time and are highly intelligent. If I leave too many flaws, no one would believe it. If I leave no flaws at all, even if second step cultivators come, I'm confident they won't see through it."

A flash of killing intent appeared in the woman's eyes and she coldly smiled. "Li Yuan, you have guts. Are you saying my cultivation time is too short!?"

The man pondered for a long time and respectfully said, "My life soul is in my lady's family's hands, how would I dare?!"

The woman coldly said, "It's good you remember. If it were not for my grandfather, who took pity on you and gave you the pill, you would have died 100 years ago with your injuries!"

Li Yuan revealed a bitter expression and let out a sigh. His expression suddenly changed and he whispered, "Quickly return to my restriction, someone is coming!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward. The woman was even faster and directly stepped into the ripple. The two entered the ripple and soon the ripple disappeared. Even if one checked with their divine sense, all they would see was an ordinary rock.

A ray of sword energy came from afar and circled the area before landing. Then the light disappeared, revealing a middle-aged man. This person stared at the restriction and exclaimed. After looking cautiously for a long time, his eyes lit up and his divine sense spread out. When he found no abnormalities, his eyes released a mysterious light.

He pondered for a bit before taking a few steps back and slapping his bag of holding. A ray of white light immediately shot out. When it landed on the side, it turned into a puppet made of wood.

The puppet had inscriptions and markings engraved on it that gave off burst of white light.

The middle-aged man's hand formed seals and he muttered to himself. With one point of his finger, the wooden puppet began to slowly move. It became more flexible until it was finally like a real person. It jumped into the restriction, and after walking a few steps, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Explode!"

The puppet's body trembled, the white light intensified, and with a bang, the puppet's body collapsed. The shock from the collapse quickly spread and broke the restriction, exposing a hole that was hidden by the restriction.

The middle-aged man's eyes revealed joy. He slapped his bag of holding and took out another puppet. This puppet directly jumped into the hole under the control of the middle-aged man.

Shortly after, the man's eyes revealed ecstasy and he charged into the deep pit without any hesitation. Right after he entered, he immediately let out a scream and his origin soul came out of the hole filled with fear. However, just as he left, a green shadow came out and pulled him back in.

Ripples appeared once more from the rock 100 feet away and Li Yuan and the woman walked out. Looking at the hole, Li Yuan let out a sigh and turned his head. As for the woman beside him, she revealed a look of excitement. She walked to the hole and then reached in with her hand as if she was stroking something. She softly said, "Be good, eat one more and we will change places. This time I'll definitely let you eat your fill in the Thunder Celestial Realm."

"Interesting!" Wang Lin's figure appeared not far away. He never left but used an illusion as a disguise and saw a good show.

The woman's expression changed as she turned around and stared at Wang Lin, who had suddenly appeared. She frowned and was about to speak when Li Yuan stepped forward, standing before the woman. He clasped his hands at Wang Lin and slowly said, "Fellow cultivator, before, we offended you with the matter regarding the restriction. Right now…"

"Why are you wasting time with him? This person's cultivation level is same as ours. If both of us attack, we can feed him to my pet!" The woman let out a cold snort and charged forward. She slapped her bag of holding and a feather fan immediately appeared. The fan flew out with fierce killing intent toward Wang Lin.

Li Yuan bitterly smiled as his right hand formed a seal and restrictions immediately appeared. The restrictions combined together and began attacking Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was calm, he could be considered the top first step cultivator. At this moment, he charged forward and flicked his finger, shooting out a bolt of thunder. The bolt of thunder hit the feather fan. The thunder dissipated and the feather fan collapsed without any ability to resist.

Since her magical treasure was destroyed, the backlash of it caused her body to tremble violently and she coughed out blood. She then took several steps back and her face was filled with horror.

Wang Lin had only taken one step. Instead of the fan, what Wang Lin paid more attention to was Li Yuan's restriction. The restriction split into 18 restrictions that overlapped and connected with each other.

This restriction was very strange; if one looked at it purely with the intention of cracking it, it would take some time to do so. However, right now it was a battle. Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He didn't try to crack it but raised his hand. The thunder inside his origin soul appeared once more, forming a giant palm. The palm smashed down directly toward the 18 overlapping and interconnecting restrictions.

After several bangs, the 18 restrictions collapsed one by one as they weren't able to withstand the power of the palm. After all the restrictions collapsed, the palm still hadn't dissipated and landed directly on Li Yuan's chest.

Li Yuan coughed out blood, his face turned pale, and he retreated a few steps. He stared at Wang Lin with a look of disbelief.

At this moment, Wang Lin took the second step and directly stepped over the two people. He arrived next to where the restriction was and looked down into the pit.

There was a cloud of green yin energy inside the pit. At the moment Wang Lin looked down, the yin energy flew out, forming a huge skull that gave off a green glow and immediately rushed to devour Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light and he softly said, "Heavenly ghost!"

At this moment, the woman revealed a horrified expression and shouted, "Devour him!"

The skull formed by the heavenly ghost gave off a green light that made the world look green. As it rushed toward Wang Lin, there was a flash of light from between Wang Lin's eyebrows and the Karma Whip suddenly appeared.

The moment the whip appeared, it immediately whipped at the heavenly ghost. The heavenly ghost let out a miserable scream and a large amount of green gas released from its body. It was about to retreat, but how could Wang Lin let it escape? The Karma Whip immediately wrapped around the heavenly ghost and pulled it back. Then Wang Lin took out the one-billion-soul soul flag and immediately threw the heavenly ghost inside.

"With this, the chance of refining the second celestial guard will be much greater!" Wang Lin turned around and looked at Li Yuan and the woman.

The woman revealed a terrified expression. She couldn't imagine how this person was able to easily capture the heavenly ghost that her family had been raising for many years.

Li Yuan's expression was extremely. Just now, he saw the whip that had suddenly appeared next to Wang Lin. He sucked in a breath of cold air and said, with a complex expression, "Senior, the two of us…"

"The two of you setting up a restriction to trap people have nothing to do with me. However, since the two of you took the initiative to attack me, then I can't let you off easily!" Wang Lin's expression showed no joy or anger, but those words caused the woman's body to tremble. Li Yuan let out a sigh in his heart.

He pondered for a moment while looking at Wang Lin and respectfully said, "Senior, this matter was our fault. This junior knows an extremely secretive place where restrictions exist and presumably celestial treasures as well. Junior offer this place to settle this matter."

The woman beside him no longer had any spirit and didn't dare to speak.

Chapter 744 - Sword Tip

Wang Lin looked at Li Yuan with a smile that was not a smile. His gaze was like a sword that directly saw through Li Yuan's heart.

Li Yuan's expression didn't reveal any panic and instead became even more calm. There was no discomfort as he respectfully said, "Senior must be wondering why Junior didn't go there and broke the restrictions himself."

Wang Lin looked at Li Yuan. This person's intelligence was far from something that woman could compare to and was not ordinary at all. From what he heard from the two of them, this person was rescued by the woman's family, but the price was handing over his life soul.

However, Wang Lin had always felt that their conversion earlier had been led by the person named Li Yuan as if he was trying to point something out.

Li Yuan's expression remained neutral, then he revealed a look of sincerity and said, "In my earlier days, I found an ancient map that depicts a forbidden area in the Thunder Celestial Realm from before the Thunder Celestial Realm collapsed. Junior is confident in finding that place as long as it still exists. As for the restrictions there, Junior is 70% confident in breaking them."

Wang Lin's expression didn't change and he didn't speak.

"If Junior is not wrong, there are origin tools inside the forbidden land. These are origin tools that are completely preserversed. If the restrictions can be removed, Senior can take half of the origin tools!"

The woman beside Li Yuan opened her mouth, but in the end she chose to remain silent.

Wang Lin looked at Li Yuan. After a long time, he smiled and nodded. "OK, but…" As Wang Lin spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand and reached out. The woman's body immediately trembled and a ghost-like shadow was pulled three inches out of her body.

All of this happened in an extremely short period of time. The woman's face was deathly pale, as if she lost a lot of energy.

"I need to obtain a soul as a safety precaution!" The shadow condensed into a ball of light and Wang Lin put it into his bag.

Li Yuan's expression was neutral, but he was extremely vigilant inside his heart. He knew that this person's intelligence was not below his. This person decided to extract this woman's soul rather than his. Could it be… that this person had seen through something!?

"Also, I'm very interested in the method you used to hide your restriction." Wang Lin's gaze fell on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan pondered a bit before taking out a piece of jade and spending a long time marking it. He then gave it to Wang Lin and said, "Since Senior is interested, then Junior won't be stingy."

Wang Lin caught the jade. After scanning it with his divine sense, he immediately frowned.

At this moment, although Li Yuan had his head down, he still saw the faint frown Wang Lin had. He thought to himself, "This cultivator is strange and is extremely knowledgeable, or else he wouldn't have seen through my restrictions earlier. However, no matter how knowledgeable he is, he can't see through my restriction methods!"

While thinking about the source of his restrictions, Li Yuan felt bit depressed.

Wang Lin indeed didn't understand this restriction. Even with his understanding of restrictions, when he first saw the restrictions in the jade, he felt like he couldn't tell head from tails. This restriction was clearly different from the restrictions he had learned, and they might not even be celestial restrictions.

When he started to observe the inside of the jade, 10 statues appeared. When he attempted to comprehending them, they began to overlap and caused his mind to be shaken.

Wang Lin withdrew his divine sense. Although he couldn't see through it, he managed to find something familiar within. He didn't point it out but put it away and softly said, "Lead the way!"

Li Yuan quickly nodded and arrived next to the woman named Ge. However, the woman waved him away and with a snort jumped on a ray of sword energy before flying into the distance.

Li Yuan didn't mind. He clasped his hands at Wang Lin before a ray of light appeared under his feet and he flew into the sky.

Wang Lin unhurriedly followed behind them. His eyes flickered as he examined Li Yuan.

"There was probably both true and false information in his speech. Right now I'm starting to wonder if he calculated all of this from the moment he first saw me… If that is really the case, then his scheme runs too deep!" Wang Lin was always suspicious of others. Although Li Yuan looked ordinary, Wang Lin always felt something mysterious when talking to him.

"If what he said was all true, then I can forget this matter. However, if there were any lies that are disadvantageous to me, then I will kill those two!" Wang Lin's killing intent was very well hidden.

The woman named Ge was filled with resentment, but she didn't dare to vent it on Wang Lin. However, her heart was filled with hatred for Li Yuan.

"If it wasn't for the problems in Li Yuan's restriction, how could it have attracted that person? I just managed to create a connection with my heavenly ghost, and it was taken by that person!"

"Moreover, if that person wanted security, why did he take my soul but not Li Yuan's?!" The more she thought about it, the more she hated Li Yuan.

Just at this moment, Li Yuan flew next to the woman. He looked ahead and said, "I remember that that place is not on this fragment. We need to go past that thunder area to find it."

The woman named Ge let out a cold snort and didn't speak. However, Li Yuan's voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Lady Ge, I have already wrapped my divine sense in restrictions, so he can't hear us. This person heard our talk earlier, so he knows that my life soul is in the hands of your family. As long as he controls you, he controls the two of us.

"However, Lady can rest assured, I'll definitely find a way to retrieve your life soul!"

Li Yuan's voice was very cautious, but it revealed sincerity and determination. Although the woman named Ge let out a cold snort, her heart became much more calm. It seemed she at least somewhat believed Li Yuan's explanation.

Several days later as the three flew, the edge of the fragment appeared. Strands of thunder extended into the darkness like chains.

Once they were at the edge of the fragment, Li Yuan turned around and respectfully said, "Senior, these thunder chains contain a lot of power. Even powerful cultivators have to be extremely cautious on them. Senior, please be careful!"

When standing here, one could experience the majesty and might of the Thunder Celestial Realm. Here was also where one could feel how broken the Thunder Celestial Realm was.

If one looked from above, the edge of the fragment was an irregular zigzag shape. It was as if a giant pair of hands had torn the fragments apart! On the edge were broken layers of dirt that extended downwards. There was no end in sight, only the endless void.

It was as if this fragment was floating in the void.

When standing here, one could hear the thunderous rumbles before them. The sound was sometimes strong and sometimes weak. This created an illusion that made people not know where they were.

It was also as if they were at the center of the world and they were stepping on the void.

On the side of the fragment, strands of thunder were flashing. These strands of thunder seemed to be nailed into the side of the fragments and were extending into the void. The strands of thunder overlapped, forming chains. Although they look like they led to the void, Wang Lin could imagine them connected to another fragment on the other side.

This entire Thunder Celestial Realm was linked together with these thunder chains. They were like wires that connected a majority of the fragments of the collapsed Thunder Celestial Realm.

If one looked down from high above in the Thunder Celestial Realm, they would immediately see it all. All of the fragments were linked together with these thunder chains, allowing the broken Thunder Celestial Realm to remain standing.

Those fragments really looked as if a pair of giant hands torn them apart.

Wang Lin sighed in his heart. I was just like when he saw the giant hand print in the Rain Celestial Realm. These scenes made it so he couldn't help but guess what happened countless years ago to cause the Celestial Realm to collapse like this.

It wasn't that Wang Lin hadn't guessed that this was caused by the ancient gods, but there were many problems with this theory. After pondering for a bit, Wang Lin focused and looked at Li Yuan and the woman named Ge.

"How did the two of you get past these thunder chains?"

Li Yuan had been closely observing Wang Lin's expression and found a trace of confusion when they arrived at the edge of the fragment and saw the thunder chain. This confirmed his speculation that this was this person's first trip to the Thunder Celestial Realm!

After hearing Wang Lin's question, Li Yuan respectfully said, "The key to getting past the thunder chain depends on Lady Ge."

The woman named Ge let out a snort as she slapped her bag of holding and a black, iron sword flew out. This sword looked extremely normal without anything special about it.

However, after it appeared, Wang Lin noticed Li Yuan reveal a hint of uncontrollable excitement, but that was quickly hidden. Just as that excitement disappeared, he seemed to casually look at Wang Lin.

After discovering that Wang Lin hadn't noticed him, he relaxed a bit.

The woman named Ge's gaze fell on the iron sword. She bit the tip of her tongue and spat out blood. Then her right hand moved and she drew a rune with the blood. A similar rune appeared between her eyebrows and flashed along with the one she drew as if they were checking if they matched. Then the rune suddenly fell on the iron sword.

The sword trembled and a circle of light spread out. Li Yuan suppressed the agitation in his heart, stepped into the light, and landed on the sword. He stood in a strange position; he was on the tip of the sword! His back was facing Wang Lin and his face revealed a trace of reminiscence.

At the moment Li Yuan's feet landed, Wang Lin's eyes narrowed and stared at his feet. Wang Lin seemed to have noticed something, and lightning flashed across his eyes!

The woman named Ge frowned before stepping forward and landing on the hilt of the sword.

Chapter 745 - Very Good, Very Good

Wang Lin's gaze fell on Li Yuan's feet. At the moment his feet landed, Wang Lin had a strange feeling. It was as if that person and the iron sword had become one.

Wang Lin withdrew his gaze and then withdrew his divine sense. He stepped forward and entered the void. The moment he entered the void, it was as if he had passed a boundary, and the rumble from the thunder seemed to increase several fold.

The woman named Ge snorted in her heart and thought, "This magical treasure is inherited from the family. Although it has no power, it is unmatched in resisting thunder!" With her thought, the flying sword began to move along the thunder chain. The thunder from the chain seemed to have no effect on the flying sword.

The woman named Ge looked at Li Yuan and frowned. The location he was standing on made her feel very uncomfortable. However, this was not the moment to say anything. Although the sword wasn't very fast, it was stable as it flew along the thunder chain.

The surroundings were filled with nothingness, and one couldn't see anything before them. However, no cultivator in the Thunder Celestial Realm would get lost. As long as they followed the thunder chains, they would find the right direction.

Shortly after, as the sword flew, they slowly entered the void. The woman couldn't spread out her divine sense, so she didn't see Wang Lin. She wondered if she had lost him, so she turned around and immediately felt as if a bolt of thunder had penetrated her. She was frozen, her eyes were filled with aghast, and the terror she felt toward Wang Lin reached a peak.

She saw Wang Lin treading on the thunder chain in his white robe. He walked step by step as if he was walking on flat ground.

The thunder moved through his body, but it had no effect on him. In fact, he felt very comfortable, and his origin soul was even absorbing all the thunder.

As Wang Lin walked, he set off violent waves of thunder behind him. This scene was very clear, even from a distance. It was like a bright beacon at night.

Li Yuan, who was on the sword's tip, was filled with melancholy. As he stood on the tip of the sword, waves of emotions were set off in his heart. He was almost unable to control it.

"Old friend, it has been a long time… long time… since we meet…" Li Yuan let out a sigh in his heart and then immediately focused his thoughts. He immediately became aware of the woman named Ge's change and subconsciously looked back. When he saw Wang Lin walking on the thunder chain, his pupils immediately shrank.

"He can stand on the thunder chains between the fragments with his body!" Li Yuan's expression shank but quickly returned to normal.

Wang Lin didn't speak along the way, but the thunder was like a burning fire at night. The thunder behind him gradually disappeared. After spending most of a month in the void. the trail of thunder behind Wang Lin had disappeared completely.

Only at this moment did Wang Lin relax. That thunder wasn't something he wanted, it was because his own body contained thunder. That thunder was formed by the friction from the thunder inside his body and the thunder outside.

Wang Lin didn't like this kind of phenomenon because it was too showy and could invite unwanted trouble. Now that his body had adapted to the chain, he relaxed a bit.

"When listening to the two of them, it seemed the reason Li Yuan's life soul is in the woman's family's hands is because they saved him. However, I fear there is something more…" While he moved along the chain, he was still observing the two and pondering the situation.

"That woman's sword can cause Li Yuan to have such a reaction. I guess being saved and then locked to the woman's family was all part of his plan!" Wang Lin's gaze fell on the iron sword. After taking many careful looks at the iron sword, he wasn't able to find any clues. This iron sword had very strong resistance toward thunder. The deeper one traveled on the thunder chain, the stronger the thunder became, but the iron sword wasn't affected at all.

Along the way, the three of them didn't speak at all. Every time the woman named Ge looked at Wang Lin, there was fear in her eyes. She was now really afraid of Wang Lin. He had captured her heavenly ghost with ease and was able to safely step on the thunder chain. All of these things made her develop a fear toward Wang Lin.

Especially when she considered the fact that a part of her soul was in his hands. It made her even more terrified.

The woman thought, "I don't have any real death grudge with him, only some conflict. Since he is a senior, as long as I remain obedient along the way and follow orders, I should be able to survive."

As for Li Yuan, he suppressed the shock in his heart about Wang Lin and quietly stood at the tip of the sword. He remained motionless as if he had always been like this.

Time quickly passed. The three of them had flown in the void for almost two months. The Thunder Celestial Realm was too big, and in these two months they met no cultivators. It was as if for these two months, the three of them were the only people left in the world.

The boring flight made the woman named Ge extremely irritated. However, each time she wanted to vent on Li Yuan, she would have an inexplicable feeling that this figure, this scene was somewhat familiar.

This familiar feeling made her suppress her temper. However, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't remember what this familiar feeling was.

"I always feel like I have seen this scene somewhere before…" The woman named Ge spent most of her time pondering this question.

On this day, as they proceeded farther, the thunder became even stronger. The roars of the thunder echoed endlessly. The thunder spread out like dragons and scattered in all directions.

Wang Lin also felt discomfort from the chain, and he became vigilant because what made him feel uncomfortable wasn't the thunder but the vibrations coming from the thunder chain.

These vibrations were coming from ahead, and they were causing the thunder chain to tremble and send thunder scattering in all directions.

Even the light screen around the iron sword flickered as if it could break at any time. The woman named Ge seemed to panic and increased her control. Li Yuan frowned slightly.

As they moved forward, the vibrations increased even more. The thunder seemed to contain a violent aura and a slight touch would cause a thunderous rumble.

Wang Lin was still frowning, and the caution in his eyes became stronger. He had a bad feeling, as if there was a terrifying existence ahead.

"Senior, although Junior hasn't been to the Thunder Celestial Realm before, I know that the chains connecting the fragments shouldn't shake so violently. Senior, look over there!" Li Yuan pointed toward the void on the left. At the end of the void there were vague flashes of light.

"Senior, there should also be a thunder chain over there, but we can still see the light. I fear that the shaking is not only our chain but a majority of the thunder chains in the region! I think there is something big happening!"

"How about… How about we return? Before I came here, the old ancestor in the family told me that if the thunder chains connecting the fragments shake, that means… that means that the two fragments are going to collapse!" The woman's expression was pale and she could also feel the vibrations from the chain.

The vibrations became more frequent and more violent. The thunder that the vibrations were giving off was very shocking.

Wang Lin had already become aware of where Li Yuan pointed. After pondering for a bit, he gloomily looked ahead and slowly said, "The answer is before us. There is already no path for retreat, so we'll know once we see it."

Li Yuan nodded. He also had this idea. They had already travelled this far, turning back now wouldn't help. Although cultivators needed to be cautious, when faced with a path of no retreat, they needed to bravely move forward.

Li Yuan looked at the woman and explained, "Lady Ge, although the vibrations of the chain have to do with us going deeper into the void, it is too late to retreat!"

Wang Lin didn't speak anymore, but his body flickered and he increased his speed. He jumped over the two and charged ahead.

Li Yuan looked at Wang Lin's back and thought, "He indeed wasn't using his full strength before. This person is not simple! My ability to gauge a person is not wrong! How could someone who defeated an Illusory Yin cultivator be simple!?"

Not long after Wang Lin charged into the void, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he stopped. He stared ahead and saw a large area of fog filled with celestial spiritual energy spreading out. The fog was boundless and blocked all paths forward.

At this moment, the iron sword caught up. When Li Yuan saw the fog, he was startled. After taking a closer look, his expression changed and he shouted, "This is a restriction!"

Wang Lin had recognized that this fog contained traces of the power of a restriction. He slowly said, "Since this is a restriction, are you confident in cracking it?"

Li Yuan frowned and carefully looked at it. His eyes shined and he said, "I'm not confident. This isn't a single restriction but many restrictions combined, and they are borrowing the power of thunder from the Thunder Celestial Realm. Just who has the courage to actually place a restriction like this?!"

His expression was very serious as he slapped his bag of holding and a compass appeared in his hand. The pointer spun non stop as his hand formed seals while he calculated and his eyes shined even brighter. Just at this moment, the compass in his hand exploded into dust and dissipated.

"This is a mid heavenly restriction that uses the Thunder Celestial Realm as its base with 9,999 spirits to act as formation eyes. It can form a huge and incomparable formation that can refine everything in the world!"

Just at this moment, a laugh came from the fog in the distance followed by an old man walking out from the fog. He was holding something in his hand, it was a thunder chain!

"Eh? Meeting you here proves that you are indeed someone fated with this old man! I was about to find you, but you came here yourself. Very good, very good!"

Chapter 746 - How Much…

Wang Lin's expression became gloomy and his pupils shrink when he saw the thunder chain in the old man hands. His heart was filled with terror. Even Wang Lin with his thunder origin soul and thunder body could not casually hold the thunder chain like that.

After all, just the thunder it gave off contained a trace of celestial thunder, so there was no need to mention the entire chain.

He couldn't see any clue about the old man's cultivation level at all, but he could imagine it was extremely high. In addition, he could vaguely feel a sense of returning to the origin from this old man.

Wang Lin subconsciously took a few steps back. He was very unfamiliar with this old man, so presumably, the fated person was not him. His gaze turned and fell on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was also extremely surprised. When he saw Wang Lin's movement, he guessed that Wang Lin didn't know this old man. Then it became obvious that the fated person the old man talked about might be himself. He carefully looked at the old man and felt rather puzzled. He respectfully said, "Senior, the person you are talking about is…"

The old man walked out from the thick fog and stared at Li Yuan. He pointed at Wang Lin and said, with dissatisfaction, "Little fellow, the fated person this old man talked about is you! Come here!"

Wang Lin's eyes narrowed and he said, "I have never met Senior before. How are we fated?!"

The old man examined Wang Lin a bit and smiled. "Have you forgotten already? Anyone who can escape from the old man's prison tunnel is fated with this old man!"

Wang Lin's expression immediately changed. He looked at the old man, and after pondering a bit, he slowly said, "So it was Senior who set it up… I just don't know why Senior did it."

The old man revealed an impatient expression and stepped forward. Then his hand reached toward Wang Lin and he said, "What is all this nonsense? If this old man says you're fated, then you are!"

Wang Lin's expression became gloomy and he quickly retreated. He couldn't see through this old man's cultivation, so he couldn't do battle and could only run!

The old man let out a mischievous smile and his hand reached out. In an instant, the area within five kilometers was filled with a powerful force. This force was simply too strong, and it also contained an unimaginable amount of origin energy.

One grasp caused Wang Lin's expression to become pale and he found that he couldn't move at all. It was as if someone had used the Stop spell on him. He could only watch as the old man's hand reached toward him.

His eyes shined brightly, and as the old man's hand closed in, he bit his tongue. Rather than spitting it out, he swallowed the essence blood and activated the escape spell he learned from the old man in the Demon Spirit Land. The blood had already formed an internal cycle inside his body.

As this internal cycle moved, his body loosened and disappeared in a flash. He reappeared a distance away and escaped without looking back.

The old man softly exclaimed. His eyes revealed a hint of interest and he smiled. "He is indeed worthy of being fated with his old man if he knows such an incredible spell that damages oneself to escape!" He then withdrew his hand and shot toward the void.

That grab earlier only used 10% of his power. At this point, he was more serious and used 20% of his power with this palm. One palm caused the void to twist like it was about to be torn apart and ripples appeared.

Then the old man softly said, "Reverse!"

In the blink of an eye, the entire void flickered as if everything had changed. Wang Lin's eyes blurred and his body quickly moved backward. This posture was exactly the same as when he ran.

In almost an instant, when he regained his vision, he was actually standing 30 feet away from the old man. Cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. This kind of spell was already beyond his imagination.

The old man looked at Wang Lin and smiled. "Why are you not running?"

Wang Lin pondered a bit before clasping his hands and respectfully saying, "I don't know what Senior wants, but Junior's cultivation level isn't high enough to meet Senior's requirements."

The old man's gaze fell on Wang Lin's bag and he said, "No problem. You can't help me, but the Thunder Beast inside your bag can. Let this old man borrow it for a while and then I'll return it to you."

Wang Lin secretly let out a sigh. He didn't know how the old man knew what he had in his bag of holding. He slapped his bag of holding and the Thunder Beast flew out. The moment the Thunder Beast appeared, before it could even let out a roar, it was grabbed by the old man and dragged away. The old man smiled. "Very good, it is actually a silver-horned Thunder Beast, very good. Little fellow, this old man is not only taking this Thunder Beast; every Thunder Celestial Temple messenger's Thunder Beast will belong to this old man for a period of time!"

The Thunder Beast finally regained its senses and was shaking from terror. This was the first time the Thunder Beast had showed this kind of behavior.

Upon seeing that the old man was about to leave, Wang Lin clenched his teeth and loudly said, "With Senior's cultivation, how could Senior just take a junior's possession like this?"

The old man stopped and turned around to look at Wang Lin. He smiled and his eyes revealed admiration. "You want compensation? Interesting, but I can't just use your Thunder Beast in vain!" He looked at Wang Lin and said, "Your cultivation is a mess. A thunder origin soul and t a thunder body, what is this? Let this old man give you a helping hand!"

The old man's right hand reached out and a large amount of dust gathered in his hand to form a ball of light. He then spat out a mouthful of energy into the ball of light and threw it without even looking. The ball of light shot directly toward Wang Lin.

The ball of light was too fast for Wang Lin to dodge, and so it directly entered his chest.

After doing all of this, the old man waved his sleeves and laughed. "You guys can't break through here, so let me give you all ride!" As he waved his sleeve, a powerful force appeared, taking Wang Lin, Li Yuan, and the woman named Ge before disappearing.

"That iron sword is a bit familiar. Forget it, the matter at hand is more important, so I'm not going to think about it." The old man looked at the Thunder Beast in his hand. The more he looked, the more pleased he became and he smiled. "Yes, after this old man uses some spells, this Thunder Beast should be able to pull the chain!"

The Thunder Beast carefully looked at the old man. Its heart was beating wildly, but it didn't dare to make a sound.

The old man's body flickered and then he disappeared with the Thunder Beast. However, almost right after he reappeared, he looked at where Wang Lin disappeared to and muttered, "Just then how much energy did I put into it? Uh… It seems I put a little too much… That little guy should be alright… Regardless, if he doesn't die, then he really is fated with this old man."

The old man stepped forward and disappeared without a trace.

Wang Lin's group of three was sent through the fog by the old man and they were currently whistling through the fog. This kind of speed couldn't be described anymore; it was simply too overwhelming.
